ASX recent activities – July to August 2009

ASX continues to support investor focused events for the resource sector

The highly successful Resourceful Event’s 20:20 Investor Series provides mining and exploration companies the opportunity to engage with investors in a series of events over the year.

Four events have been held in the first half of 2009, including the latest event ‘Africa Day’ on 27 July, which featured four resources companies with operations in Africa. The events attract a diverse investor audience including fund managers, brokers, buy and sell-side analysts, and high net worth individuals.

ASX has committed to supporting further events this year.

Diggers and Dealers - 3-5 August, Kalgoorlie, Western Australia

ASX is a regular sponsor and exhibitor at this annual mining conference, which this year attracted over 1,700 delegates. The conference combined presentations by listed mining and exploration companies with a large exhibition area housing exhibitors from the mining, exploration and service sectors.

The ASX reading of the conference ‘mood’ was one of optimism on the outlook for the resources sector, overlaid with the need for a level of caution on global recovery embodied in a key note speech by Prof. Nouriel Roubini.

The delegation included mining and exploration companies, brokers, bankers, investors, financiers and mining service industries.

ASX recently co-exhibited with Standard and Poor’s at the annual IFSA conference. In particular ASX and Standard and Poor’s highlighted the new S&P/ASX Emerging Companies Index, which will be of interest to fund managers looking to benchmark funds in that sector of the market.
